I have multifocal so don’t need glasses at all which is great!
I almost did the monovision because I had gone that route for years with contacts and it worked really well. Not everybody’s brain adjusts to monovision (70% do) so hesitate to suggest it unless you’ve already tried it with regular contacts.
I did try both eyes with distance once and absolutely hated it–I was constantly putting on glasses and taking them off–read computer, look at TV across room, back to computer, go shopping, look at a price, back to looking around. On, off, on, off. Just drove me absolutely nuts. That’s when I went monovision–took a few days for brain to adjust but when it did it freed me from any glasses.
